EDITORS COMMENTS
This bird's-eye view photograph, taken between 1910 and 1920, showcases the impressive expanse of Pennsylvania Station in New York City. The image, captured from an aerial perspective, offers a unique vantage point that highlights the grandeur and scale of this historic transportation hub. Located in the heart of New York City, Pennsylvania Station was a crucial part of the country's industrial and railroad history. The station, designed by architects McKim, Mead & White, was a marvel of its time, boasting Beaux-Arts architecture and intricate details that reflected the optimism and progress of the early 20th century. The photograph, held in the Keystone Archives at the Library of Congress, is a glass negative measuring 8 x 10 inches. The image is a testament to the craftsmanship of the photographer, likely Edwin H. Husher, who captured the scene with precision and artistry using a dry plate process. The black and white image, with its crisp lines and contrast, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the architectural beauty and historical significance of Pennsylvania Station. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our architectural heritage, as the original Pennsylvania Station was demolished in the late 1960s and replaced with a modern bus terminal and subway complex. Today, efforts are underway to restore the historic Penn Station, ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at its grandeur and appreciate its place in American history.
